In celebration of the 25th Anniversary, Wong Kar Wai has revisited his original concept of the film and with this special edition offers an unseen chapter as a bonus to the initial version.
Initially conceived as one-third of a triptych about food, In the Mood for Love was expanded into a stand-alone feature that won immediate recognition as a modern-day classic. Another third –intended as the “dessert,” as Wong Kar Wai has put it – was, until now, only screened during his masterclass at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
Now available in wide release for the first time, In the Mood for Love 2001 demonstrates the director’s masterful ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations on a miniature canvas – with In the Mood for Love stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again providing the sizzling chemistry – evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch.
